Tascam 322 – professional dual-tape deck

This is a robust dual-cassette recorder, suitable for a wide range of professional applications.

In practical terms, it consists of two fully independent auto-reverse recorders with separate input/output connectors and controls, housed in a single 3U 19" rack-mount chassis. The 322 features an integrated bus control system that offers solutions for a wide variety of applications. You can record or play back two tapes one after the other or simultaneously, or cascade up to 10 units and control them all from the master unit. This allows for recording and playback times of up to 30 hours, or the copying of up to 19 cassettes at normal or high speed. The optical leader tape sensor minimises time lost during the transition from one side of the tape to the other in the autoreverse process.

It also features a programme search function (CPS), auto locator, two independent level meters, real-time tape counters, speed control for each recorder, and a headphone output with level control and selectable source. The Dolby B and C noise reduction systems, together with HX Pro, ensure high-quality playback.

It can be controlled via the dedicated RC-302 wired remote control (optional and not supplied) or via an RS-232 serial port controller: it is therefore an ideal unit for use with A/V control systems or in any professional installation.

The unit offered here is in excellent cosmetic and working condition and comes with a copy of the manual in English.
